To unlock all of the Snake vs. Monkey missions on Disc 2, first play Disc 1. When starting a new game on Disc 1 and are asked which Metal Gear Solid game you like, select option 4, I like MGS!. When the game starts, save it as soon as you can. Take out Disc 1 and insert Disc 2. Go to Snake vs. Monkey and all of the missions should now be unlocked instead of having ????? in their place. Doing this also unlocks the Demo Theater on Disc 1 and the Secret Theater on Disc 2, along with the Duel option on Disc 2.

Defeating The End
When you first start to fight him, go into one of the other two areas and not the original one you start in. Run around and roll to dodge his bullets. When he shoots at you, press Start and select Map. One of the sniping locations will be highlighted in red to show you where he is at (if you have uncovered the entire area). To remove the tranquilizer darts from where The End shot you, press Start and select Cure. Select the Knife to remove the tranquilizer darts. Do this as soon as possible to avoid losing stamina.
If you are having trouble defeating The End and do not care about getting his rifle or camo, you do not have to fight him. Rather than trying to shoot him after the intermission sequence and fight guards, you can just skip it all together. When the battle begins, save the game. Ignore what Medic says about saving and her bad feeling. She is just hinting at the fact that The End's health recovers as well as Snake's. After saving the game, turn off the PlayStation 2. Advance the system date ahead one week. When you start the game again, you will get a message that The End has died and there is no battle.
Defeating Volgin
Use the following trick to defeat Volgin on Shagohod easily. When the battle begins, run to a safe place where you know Eva will not ride to. Stop, go to your inventory, and equip the RPG or rocket launcher and some sort of "lethal" sniper rifle. Aim at the spinning drill-shaped wheels on the Shagohod. Make sure the rocket hits one of them. You will notice that the Shagohod has stopped. Take out the sniper rifle and aim it at Volgin's head. One shot to the head should take him out.

High score in Duel mode
A good way to get a high score is to choose one weapon and kill the Boss as fast as possible. It also helps if you collect ammunition for your weapons before defeating the Boss. The shorter the time and more ammunition you carry, the higher the score. You will not lose points for damage or using your medical items.
Hillarious Glitch!!!
Ok, I found this funny glitch. Do you know that rope bridge that snake falls off of after Sokolov is captured? Well I found out that if you shoot the rope next to him with a gun, and write before he falls off you shoot him with an EZ gun or any tranquilizer gun. He will fall as if he fell on the ground when really he is floating in mid air! Then the gaurd will wake up (after a while), stand up, and fall with a yell! Just like a cartoon. LOL.
NOTE- you may have to be on very easy mode. . .

During that time, go into first person view and aim at a guard's crotch and punch them. The guard will grab his crotch and fall face down, knocked out.

Stealth Camouflage
